Following the success of his exhibition at Student Gallery, VCA Arts School, Ishu Han’s ‘Study Country’ is now showing at Arts Victoria Foyer, Level 6, 2 Kavanagh Street, Southbank.
Born in Shanghai, China, Han now lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. During his twelve-week residency at the Victorian College of the Arts, Han has examined Chinese immigration to Australia, the discovery of gold in Victoria during the 1850s and the legacy of these histories. Drawing from this research and an experience of place this exhibition investigates notions of ‘identity’ in contemporary art.
The exchange residency program is a collaboration between Tokyo Wonder Site, Asialink and VCA, supported by Arts Victoria.
When: Friday 25 October 2013 - Friday 31 January 2014
Where: Arts Victoria Foyer, Level 6, 2 Kavanagh Street, Southbank VIC 3006
